AB  - In this work, a new organic-inorganic composite filter was prepared. The 
      thickness, pore size, air permeability, bursting strength and microstructure were 
      characterized systematically, proving that coatings had regulatory effect on 
      filters physical properties. Benefitting from the distinct coatings containing 5% 
      sepiolite nanofibers after five times dilution, the physical properties of 
      corresponding air filter exhibits the most favorable performance and meet the 
      standard of air filter. When used as fuel filter, it satisfies the fuel filter 
      standard and achieves the best performance after six times dilution. The contrast 
      test on engine emission was taken based on auto filters coated with/without as 
      prepared nanofibers. An obvious decrease in the emission of carbon monoxide (CO), 
      hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NO(x)) can be observed after installation 
      of composite filter on vehicles. Under the high idle condition, gasoline engine 
      emission decreased by 8.13%, 11.35% and 44.91% for CO, HC and NO(x), 
      respectively. When tested in the low idle condition, engine emission reduced by 
      0.43%, 1.14% and 85.67% for CO, HC and NO(x), respectively. The diesel engine 
      emissions of CO, NO(x) and total amount of HC and NO(x) decreased by 32.26%, 
      3.28% and 4.66%, respectively. The results illustrate the composite installation 
      exhibits satisfactory emission reduction effect.
